For the fifth consecutive year, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society has named Neumann University to its transfer honor roll, a list that recognizes the top 25 percent of colleges in the country for creating systems and processes that support transfer students.
The latest national honor roll includes 228 colleges.
Colleges were selected based on their transfer friendliness rating, which is based on 40 key metrics related to the support provided by the institution and the success that transfer students achieve. The analysis includes cost, scholarships, admissions practices, degree completion rates, and peer reviews.
“Making the transfer honor roll is evidence of the welcoming environment that Neumann University has created for transfer students,” said Francesca Reed, university vice president for enrollment management and marketing.
“This award is given to four-year colleges and universities with proven outcomes for transfer success. They are the best at providing a supportive and smooth transition from community colleges and high rates of bachelor’s degree attainment for transfer students,” she added.
Each year more than one hundred students come to Neumann from community, state, and private colleges and universities to continue their education.
Neumann’s merit scholarships for transfer students, based on cumulative GPA, range from $12,000 to $17,000 per year. In addition, transfer students who are members of Phi Theta Kappa may be eligible for an additional $3,000 scholarship.
Phi Theta Kappa is an honor society that recognizes the academic achievement of students at associate degree-granting colleges. The society is made up of nearly 1,300 chapters in 11 nations.
